Tim Thomas apparently won't be selected as one of the three goalies for Team U.S.A. for the upcoming Olympic Games in Sochi.
Jimmy Howard, Ryan Miller and Jonathan Quick will get the call from the selection committee Wednesday. This has to be a huge disapointment for Thomas as one of the reasons he returned to play in the NHL this season was so that he could represent his country in Russia. "There's not much I can do about it, so I won't put too much effort into thinking about that, then there's other guys that are hurt, too," Thomas said. "I don't know if that will impact their decision or not." Thomas ewas supossed to play in one of the Panthers' games this weekend but he did not see any action. Scott Clemmensen played well against Montreal on Sunday so it will be interesting to see if Thomas will get the start against the Rangers on Tuesday.
